When creating a repo vai HgLab, if you include a .hgignore file in
the initial creation,<br>
the create time is shown in UTC rather than local time.</p>
<p>If you don't include the .hgignore, but rather paste it into the
local repo after you have cloned it, and then push it back up to
the server, then creation time is shown in local time.</p>
<p>It would be great if this minor issue could get fixed.<br>
(I just noticed 1.9.7 is out, we're on 1.9.4 so I'll check the logs
and update us to see if this has been fixed.)</p></div>pdavidsontag:support.hglabhq.com,2012-10-18:Comment/391964462016-02-21T15:25:59Z2016-02-21T15:25:59ZCreating and Cloning a repository<div><p>Paul,</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for reporting. Will get this fixed!</p></div>Anton Gogolevtag:support.hglabhq.com,2012-10-18:Comment/391964462016-02-22T21:27:44Z2016-02-22T21:27:44ZCreating and Cloning a repository<div><p>Hi Anton:</p>
<p>I just remembered that I think there’s another minor bug
with the creation of a repo from HgLab with a .hgignore file.</p>
<p>It might be that this is only related to empty/new repos or
first repo in a Project or….</p>
<p>But we have seen where the new repo created with a .hgignore
file shows up both with UTC and with the wrong user name.<br>
it shows users name of the person who created the Project (I
think… Been awhile since I’ve looked at this.)</p>
<p>You can check out Problem #344 I think:<br>

:)</p></div>Anton Gogolevtag:support.hglabhq.com,2012-10-18:Comment/391964462016-02-25T19:46:00Z2016-02-25T19:46:00ZCreating and Cloning a repository<div><p>No worries…<br>
If it were critical, we’d have been a squeaky wheel.<br>
The work around is to create an empty repo with a /.hgignore file
and then copy one in by hand.<br>
I think after the initial creation, clone, etc… and push back
it functions as normal.<br>
But it is nice to be able to able to add the .hgignore file at
creation.<br>
In fact, I do that and then just put a note that the creation time
is off by UTC.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p></div>pdavidsontag:support.hglabhq.com,2012-10-18:Comment/391964462016-05-17T15:59:26Z2016-05-17T15:59:26ZCreating and Cloning a repository<div><p>pssttt, squeak squeak ;-)<br>
Just a reminder to see if this can get fixed before 1.9.8 or
whatever next release ordinal will be.</p>
<p>FYI - problem #344 has best details of the issue.</p>
<p>The UTC issue with .hgignore is not a big deal because it goes
away after the first commit.<br>
But the repo creator name being set to the Project creator's name
is a bit more of an issue because that name never changes. However,
when you have one name creating the repo and then another name
adding N commits and the only commits are from the other name, then
it's pretty obvious what's going on (if you're aware of this
issue.) But when you have multiple folks working on a repo, it's
more problematic. Well, that assumes there's a problem with having
the wrong name on a repo creation. Certainly it's not optimal.</p></div>pdavidson
